I will put money on it, they all probably were involved in gambling on NBA games, Blue Chips was a great description of what is going on in sports, but the NBA, I knew it, Stern probably bet on a few as well... good job to the NBA though.. NBA has lost it man.... who in the hell wants to pay to see a fixed game man?? they should allow fans to get in on the betting action if anything at all. I attended a few NBA games, and I want me freakin money back, who in their right mind wants to pay for a fixed game??? somebody else getting rich off of the game, other than the fans, fans should be allowed to bet on the games too.

those calls were so bad that my 5 year old nephew said "What the Fuck?"

Hahah is that all you care about? The league is about to take a massive hit and all you can talk about is how you got screwed two years ago? wow man wow. What do you want to happen? To be able to say "I told you so" to everyone on ish?

niko is right, nowhere does the article make reference to gambling on NBA games... all it says is

"in some forms of gambling activity"
"The specifics of the gambling allegations are reportedly believed to include betting in casinos"

some of you people really need to calm down and quit jumping to conclusions and let things play out a bit more.... this has only been reported by a radio station and has not been announced by any Law enforcement agency or the NBA

Im not saying it's not true or it is true, but don't jump down each others throat because some people decide to be a bit more restrained before they condemn the entire system...

i feel sorry for stern....these two faced refs screw him over and might put the nba on lockdown next season, who knows

I don't. Instead of trying to get rid of the "THUG" image and making players wear suits, he had bigger issues all along. And has had plenty of evidence to believe that there were many problems with reffing.

Stern has become an idiot, and its time to step down. I totally believe some series were fixed by refs now.

But really I just want him gone. Yet I think with all of this stuff in the open, I feel safe that it won't happen again and that reffing will be relatively fair.

The league is about to take a massive hit and all you can talk about is how you got screwed two years ago? wow man wow. What do you want to happen? To be able to say "I told you so" to everyone on ish?

and YES, I would love for nothing more...

what would make me even happier is just to know for myself that the Mavs didn't "choke"...we won that series...those calls were god awful....and I want my god damn ring...NOW

Yes but like RainerBeachPoet said, they can only bet in the offseason on horse racing. Obviously it's not horse racing or else Tim wouldn't waste his time mentionning it.

i understand that....

but you got people in this thread assuming it's all on NBA games and that somehow a bunch of guys breaking league rules by yanking a slot machine handle is going to bring down the NBA...it's not. they will be fired or fined and that will be the end of it unless it had some thing to do with the actual fixing of a game, and since nobody knows if it did or didn't at this time it seems premature to be crying about the end of the NBA...lol besides it's not illegal for an NBA ref to gamble, it is just against league rules....
